We Are 'Hidari-kiki'
In grade school, I was forced to use right-handed desks that twisted my neck, arms and brains.As a Boy Scout, my salutes got me in trouble. When I started writing cursive, my head started to follow my wrist. So with my drawings since dragging my hand over the image made them ‘dirty’. In the third grade, a rickety right-handed borrowed golf set made me an awkward righty. The swing would eventually come in handy when I played baseball. I would bat right and throw left. By high school time, I was again forced to play on right-handed guitars. Next came driving on manual transmission. My feet were virtually opposite and using my right hand on the stick was bothersome enough. Same with motorbikes. In college, drawings with the pantograph were a wreck and so were the blotted tip pens. Taking pictures on SLR’s became quite abnormal as well.

Pitching requires near perfect balance, pitch stance, ball hold, strike zone vision, runner position, batter's position, signal read, throw timing, pitch count, and the ultimate guts. hehe |
Then in 1997, I found out you can do three things at the same time as a lefty. Drawing with my Wacom pen on my left, positioning using the keyboard in the middle and vectoring with the mouse on the right. Now, there are even more better things to do as a lefty, as I come to discover more. How a right-handed human or animal would adjust to a left-handed world was what I always had in mind. Reverse roles. But don’t plank. Haha ha.
